Okay.....How BIG is it?!


I was wondering that too... At first blush it looks like two 4x8 sheets. But why would Greg make a long teardrop less than 4' tall. So I guess, I really don't know... :?

Mike...

Edit: Opps, now I see the part taped on top... So does that make it 6 x 16?


Yep! its 6x16 hence the name "Super Tear" LOL

I like the simplicity in the way the cables are connected toward the front of the frame. Nice!

Any binding as a result of uneven lifting or lowering?

Looks great! The obsessive compulsive side of me is glad to see your floor tile matches and lines up properly in the dropped floor and regular floor! :) :lol: :thumbsup:

There is angle iron on the bottom that has weather stripping on it
